The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it is studying the results of Saturday’s governorship election across the state’s 332 wards before deciding on its next line of action.

The party disclosed this on Sunday in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, following the declaration of Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party as winner of the election.

According to the Osun APC, its leadership is carefully examining the results from each ward and consulting with its legal team before determining whether to challenge the outcome of the election.

The party noted that an election is a process that begins with voter registration and party primaries and can extend through the Election Petition Tribunal, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, where applicable.

The APC maintained that the electoral process provides constitutionally recognised legal avenues through which parties and candidates can seek redress, stressing that it would explore those opportunities based on professional advice from its lawyers.

“We are not unaware of the fact that election is a process which begins at the registration of the voters through the primary election to the election proper, which extends to the tribunal, the Appeal Court and terminates at the Supreme Court,” the statement said.

The party added that it would continue to operate within the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026, as amended, describing the legal process as part of the beauty of democracy.

Osun APC Urges Supporters to Remain Calm.

The APC commended its members and supporters for their steadfastness, loyalty and contributions to the party’s political activities in Osun State.

The party also appealed to its supporters to remain calm and continue with their normal activities, urging them not to respond to what it described as provocative actions by members of the ruling party.

The APC said it would continue to pursue its cause within the ambit of the law while consultations with its legal team continue.

It also appealed to the Nigeria Police Force to protect its members and supporters who, according to the party, were being “needlessly molested” by opposition members.

The party assured its supporters that it would not abandon them and described the current political situation in Osun as a passing phase that would eventually become part of the state’s history.
